Well Tacky,that's one of those paradoxes so beloved of Jesuit sophists.

The Abrahamic God has the infinite qualities of omniscience. omnipotence and omnipresence. That means he knew precisely how each human being would behave before it was created. Predestination abrogates free will.

The answer of the sophists I was given at school was " knowing what will happen is not the same as making it happen". However,a better answer than the all time favourite Catholic response to difficult questions: "It's a mystery of faith"

While we're on free will: IF I'm given two choices, the outcome of one being truly splendid,and the other truly horrible, (such as heaven or hell) that is coercion. . "Believe in me and obey me or I'll hurt you" is bullying,the opposite of allowing free will. YHWH stacked the deck.
